Publisher description
This volume marks the centenary of the Worker's Educational Association,
the UK's oldest, largest and most successful provider of adult education
courses in the voluntary sector. With contributions from practitioners and
scholars in adult education, it sets the WEA in its historical and social
context, tracing its development, and asks key questions about the provision of
adult education today. Has it become a middle-class movement? Is it an
instrument of social change or is it an academic institution along classical
lines? Is it an autonomous voluntary organization or has it become an arm of
the state educational service? The contributors provide answers to these
questions from a variety of perspectives. Marking the centenary of the Worker's Educational Association, the UK's
oldest, largest and most successful provider of adult education courses in the
voluntary sector, this book sets the WEA in its historical and social context,
and asks key questions about the provision of adult education today.
